mnmsmnn 



With eager expectation, San Franciscans and the citizens of the 
Redwood Empire have looked forward to this day when the mighty 
Golden Gate Bridge would be opened to the traffic of the world. And 
now that this glorious enterprise is completed, rejoicing is in every heart. 

To you who have come from afar, we offer hospitality beyond 
measure. May the Bridge be a bond, uniting us ever in the bonds of 
brotherhood. 

To you in these Western States, particularly those who live in the 
glorious realms of the Redwood Empire, and who joined us in financing 
this incomparable structure, we share this hour of high satisfaction in the 
accomplishment. 

The Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta is a civic celebration in which you 
all are a part. We are all one, in spirit and in fact, in helping to make 
the occasion memorable. 

The curtain rises. The pageant unrolls. Voices are lifted in song. 

Let us lift up our hearts in thanksgiving. Let us give honor to whom 
honor is due; to those who conceived this mighty project and to those 
who made its building possible; to the engineers who designed it and 
the directors and management that built it. 

Let us pay tribute to the men whose hands actually constructed it. 

Let us remember, in deep sorrow, those whose lives were sacrificed 
in the course of its construction. 

We present a Fiesta we trust will prove worthy of the Bridge it glori- 
fies. We have done our best and now submit the finished work for your 
approval. 

Let us rejoice and be glad!

to Our Fiesta Quests 



Once more San Francisco lays claim to the admiration of the world. 

Across its Golden Gate stretches the bridge of steel so long deemed 
impossible. 

We have labored for months to make the Golden Gate Bridge 
Fiesta unique among great community festivals. And it is unique in the 
truest sense of the word. 

Here are gathered citizens of all the Western slope of this continent, 
citizens of Canada and Mexico and of great American States, and, 
above all, of our own beloved California, from the farthest reaches of 
its justly famed Redwood Empire to its remotest Southland. 

America's spectacular city welcomes you to marvel at its equally 
spectacular Bridge and to throw care to the winds that waft in through 
the Golden Gate while you revel in this most fascinating of all Fiestas. 

Now we are in the midst of a celebration of joy, triumph, and thanks- 
giving for the creation and completion of the miracle on which you gaze 
in wonder today. 

San Francisco is yours. You are welcome. And if you absorb a little 
of the spirit of what San Francisco has been, what it is, and, God willing, 
what it will become, it is our hope you will feel repaid for your coming.

By J. LAWRENCE TOOLE 



BYRON tells us that "History with all its volumes 
hath but a single page." 

On that page can now be written a new and 
shining sentence, to endure forever in annals of the 
world's achievements and genius — The Golden 
Gate Bridge was opened. 

The biggest task that ever challenged the genius, 
courage and will of man has been accomplished. 
After nearly a century of dreaming, decades of 
talk, and five years of heroic labor, the Bridge 
stands here, the noblest structure of steel upon this 
planet. 

• • • • 

TO every stranger who sees it for the first time 
the wonder of its size, of its beauty and its 
grace will be an imperishable memory. They will be 
told its story and amazed. 

Generation after generation the story and en- 
chantment of the Golden Gate Bridge will be 
handed on by all who come under its spell. 

Custom will not stale, nor time wither the birth 
of this wonder structure today stretching across the 
mile-wide expanse of ocean water where San Fran- 
cisco's dramatic history began, the Golden Gate. 
The Golden Gate! 

Its glittering bars are the breakers high, 

Its hinges are hills of granite, 
Its bolts are the winds, its arch the sky, 

Its corner-stone a planet. 

Now, this day and forever, far above those high 
breakers there stretches between granite hills, under 
the arch of the sky, the mightiest single span bridge 
ever built, final accomplishment of an engineering 
achievement without equal or comparison. 

• • • • 

DEEP into Time goes back the dream of a bridge 
across the Golden Gate. 

Old, old Indian legends tell of a day when inland 
valleys and all of San Francisco Bay was a great 
lake and how, by prayer and supplication a miracle 
was performed and a great gap cleft between the 
lake and sea, that gap which is the Golden Gate. 
More or less, geologists agree that this happened 
although their theory of its happening does not 
agree with Indian legend. 

Somehow, some time, it happened, and through 
the ages that gap has been. Through it from time 
immemorable the Pacific Ocean has poured into the 
bay that was once a lake. 

Through it just 160 years ago a Spanish navigator, 



Ayala, steered the first ship ever to anchor in the 
Bay. Since then, led in the beginning by adventurous 
sailors bent on conquest, Spanish, Russian, English, 
ships and commerce of all the world have sailed 
and steamed through the Golden Gate in unceas- 
ing and ever increasing number, until today the 
Golden Gate Bridge looks upon one of the greatest 
commercial ports in the world. 

• • • • 

AYALA'S little ship "San Carlos" had found a 
bay empty, save for a few low-hewn craft, but 
a harbor of undreamed of magnitude and beauty, 
the harbor navigators had sought on this edge of 
the Pacific for 200 years before his discovery, and 
that the greatest navigator of all, Drake, had 
missed somehow by a few ship lengths. 

A year after Ayala's coming the Spanish soldier 
Anza arrived at the Golden Gate and planted a 
cross and the flag of Spain near the point now 
known as Old Fort Point — San Francisco terminal of 
the Golden Gate Bridge. 

There a tiny Spanish settlement started and grew. 
This settlement, springing up around the adobe 
church of the Mission Dolores and the adobe Span- 
ish officers' clubhouse of the Presidio, was not the 
beginning of San Francisco. 

Down near the Bay the little settlement of Yerba 
Buena had been started. In I 847 the name of Yerba 
Buena was changed to San Francisco, a year after 
the American flag had been raised in this city and 
at Monterey. 

At that time the total population of San Francisco 
was 470 and that it remained until 1849 and the 
discovery of gold. In that single year of 1849, 700 
ships sailed through the Golden Gate and San 
Francisco expanded to a city of more than 40,000. 

• • • • 

FROM those days, when daring adventurers flocked 
by untrodden land and sea trails to San Francisco 
Bay the dream of a Bridge across the Golden Gate 
persisted. Pioneers viewed the stretch of turbulent 
water that barred progress dry-shod to the north 
and longed for a bridge. Their dream grew, to die 
under the frowns of generations that declared it 
impossible, grew again as other generations grew, 
and died again. Always it came to life. And now at 
last it is realized. The realization of San Francisco's 
dream is before your eyes. 

• • • • 
r LSEWHERE in these pages is told the long story 



of the actual realization of that dream, of this 
welding of the great Redwood Empire of California

The Fiesta Is Here!! 



IT WAS the great, jovial President Taft who coined 
that famous dictum: San Francisco knows how: 

This Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta is new proof of 
the truth of that saying. 

Fiesta minded from the days when that little 
huddle of shacks known as Yerba Buena was the 
nucleus of what became proud San Francisco, 
there runs through this city's history a golden thread 
strung with jewels of festivals. 

In the beginning, the color, animation and con- 
genital gaiety of Spanish don and senorita perme- 
ated San Francisco's Fiestas. 

Somewhat later, the boisterous, lusty ardor of 
adventurers lured to the Golden Gate by a golden 
dream, sharpened the growing city's outbursts of 
gaiety. 

And then, as San Francisco grew to maturity and 
its pulse steadied down to a rhythmic beat, its 
ardor for festivity slackened, but did not die. 

The colorfully dramatic, and sometimes sombre 
and tragic, processional of its workaday life since 
this century began has been broken again and 
again by celebrations and festivals that no one old 
enough to remember can forget. 

• • • • 

Where, and from what, San Francisco derived its 
deathless love of gaiety and good cheer and the 
high courage and spirit that has borne it triumph- 
antly through disaster and depression, it would be 
hard to say. 

The city itself is a pageant of spectacular beauty 
which fills the eye and lifts the soul to gladness. 

Indifferent to fate, Bret Harte decribed it, and 
hard to leave, Stevenson found it. 

Indifferent to fate it may be, but not indifferent 
to laughter and joy nor to festival that bubbles 
with life and gaiety. 

All its life it has been a place of pageants and 
fiestas. Always it has delighted to trick itself out in 
gay raiment and give itself up to jubilation. 

• • • • 

Its founding 160 years ago was made a festival, 
a festival procession of buck-skinned soldiers, 
bright-shawled Indian women and Franciscan padres 
bearing banners and holy pictures. A gay cavalcade 
and its first. 

Later in that same year another festival and the 
first public banquet, they called it a feast of thanks- 
giving, marked the completion of the Presidio, some 
of which still stands out there, guarded maybe by 
the ghosts of padres and conquistadors. 

A little later that same dead year the comple- 
tion of the first Mission Dolores was made occasion 
for fiesta. 

And of this there remains the words of the first 
festival reporter, Father Palou: "A procession was 
formed (after the Mass) in which Our Seraphic 



Father San Francisco, patron of the port, was car- 
ried. The function was celebrated with Salvos of 
muskets . . . and swivel guns (from the bark San 
Carlos) and with rockets." 

Translate rockets into fireworks, As it was in the 
oldest day so it is still with the San Francisco of 
1937 in festival mood; brilliant processions, caval- 
cades, fireworks, a people exuberantly happy, cos- 
tumed and gay. 

• • • • 

Time marched on in San Francisco, studded with 
festival and celebration until the first American 
house builder, Jacob R. Leese, caught the town's 
fiesta spirit and gave a party. 

It was a house-warming and all the town of 
Yerba Buena was invited. And every one living 
here at that time attended, soldiers and padres, 
Dons and Donnas, gamblers, horse thieves. 

For two whole days they danced and drank and 
most of a third day they gathered on Rincon Hill 
to eat barbecued ox and venison. 

That was in 1835, ten years before the Stars and 
Stripes was hoisted in Portsmouth Square and San 
Francisco's festival began to be less Castilian. 

Stream-lined have San Francisco's great festivals 
been in recent years, stirring the world's admira- 
tion, scarcely less than the city's brave and gallant 
recovery from the devastating havoc of the fire 
of 1906. 

Its still remembered Portola festival, its glad cele- 
bration of the return of its sons from war, the 
marvel days and nights of its Exposition, its brilliant 
celebration of California's Diamond Jubilee and 
many another civic outpouring of joy have risen in 
a smooth crescendo to this great climax, the 
Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta. 

Months ago San Francisco learned that this 
Bridge, greatest of all suspension spans, most spec- 
tacular in the world, flung across the world's most 
spectacular strait, would be finished in May. 

It was sensed that its completion and opening 
called for a celebration unparalleled in even San 
Francisco's history. This, a Citizens' Committee 
appointed by Mayor Angelo J. Rossi, undertook. 

• • • • 

Typical and characteristic was the construction 
of the Golden Gate Bridge, started and carried 
through while the entire nation was bowed by the 
worst depression in its history. 

Typical and characteristic of San Francisco too is 
this Fiesta of celebration conceived with a daring 
almost audacious and carried through with utmost 
spirit, energy and loyalty. 

San Francisco gave its word to the world the 
Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta would be the greatest 
and most colorful community celebration ever held 
in the West. It has, as always, kept its word.

The Man Who Built the Bridge 



POET, dreamer, philosopher, a man like Lincoln 
endowed with a keen sense and confidence in Di- 
vine Providence, an equal of Joyce Kilmer in love 
and worship of trees and nature, and, like Napoleon, 
permeated with consciousness that no obstacle is 
insurmountable. . . . 

Such a man, in a nutshell of type, is Joseph B. 
Strauss, bridge builder extraordinary, creator and 
designer of the Golden Sate Bridge. 

A little man, almost a wisp of a man physically, 
but a giant mentally, is Chief Bridge Engineer 
Strauss. Now deep in his sixties his once dark and 
abundant hair has thinned and taken a lighter shade. 

Keen as they always were are his piercing and 
steady gray eyes, low and controlled and incisive as 
it has been since his youth is his voice, raised only 
when impelled by conviction. 

A pleasant little man, approachable as a child, 
loyal, with almost an Irish loyalty, to his job and to 
his friends. 

Many poems he has written in ink and heard 
small circles applaud. Now here at the Golden Gate 
he has written his greatest poem, a poem of incred- 
ible beauty etched in imperishable steel upon the 
sky, a poem which no small circle but all the world 
admires and applauds. 

More space than this page allows would be 
needed to outline the life story and achievements 
of this master engineer and all the honors that have 
been showered upon him. 

• • • • 

Born in Cincinnati he graduated from the Uni- 
versity of Cincinnati in 1893. Later that university 
conferred on him the Degree of Doctor of Science. 
In 1894 he organized and became president of the 
Strauss Engineering Corporation. 

Since that time he has been in charge of design 
and construction of bridges all over the world. To 
his credit stand more than four hundred great steel 
bridges. 

He designed the Republican Bridge at Petrograd, 
formerly St. Petersburg, Russia; the Longview, 
Wash., bridge across the Columbia River; the beau- 
tiful bascule span of the famous Arlington Memo- 
rial Bridge at Washington, D. C, and many others 
of note. 

As Consulting Engineer to Port of New York 
Authority he shares credit for the Hudson River 
bridge and the Bayonne Arch at Bavonne, New 
Jersey. 

He is a member of many important societies of 
engineers in the United States and is consulting 
engineer for half a dozei foreign Governments 
stretched around the globe from the Republic of 
of Panama to Egypt. 

For more than twenty years the vision of a bridge 
across the Golden Gate has lived and grown in the 
thoughts of Poet-Engineer Strauss. He has lived with 
it, eaten with it, slept with it and dreamed of it. 



He saturated himself in the beauty of the Golden 
Gate and the majesty of the Redwood trees. 

All that before the city of San Francisco in 1917, 
asked him to tackle the problem of bridging the 
Gate, a problem generations of San Franciscans 
had regarded as insoluble and impossible. 

• • • * 

To the Heaven given brain and imagination of 
this great engineer no bridge job, however difficult, 
was impossible; no task a gifted brain and imagina- 
tion tackled insurmountable. 

In that spirit, bulwarked by vast learning and 
experience, this quiet, unobstrusive wisp of a man, 
Joseph B. Strauss, tackled his biggest job. 

And what a job it was that was put in his hands. 
To bridge a mile wide cleft in coast through which 
the Pacific Ocean poured into the Bay of San Fran- 
cisco in a turbulent ebb and flow of deep water. 

It just couldn't be done, he was warned. Jere- 
miahs of every class and kind and sort wailed. It can 
be done and it will be done, replied Indomitable 
Strauss. 

And it has been done. Through nearly five years 
of actual building, slowed and delayed often by 
elements no human can control, the work went on 
bit by bit until today the poet-engineer with the 
small voice can look at it and say to San Francisco 
and the world: Here is the bridge you thought 
impossible. 

• * * • 

In his office high up at III Sutter Street his 
best loved poem, "The Redwood Trees," hangs. 

But greatest of his poems is the Golden Gate 
Bridge which he hands over, complete and glorious, 
to the public this week, to find its niche awaiting in 
history. 

Sharing with Chief Engineer Strauss the glory of 
achievement of the longest and highest single sus- 
pension bridge ever built by man, is a group of 
engineers regarded as among the most brilliant in 
the United States. 

Principal assistant to the chief engineer was 
Clifford E. Paine, a graduate of the University of 
Michigan and an engineer of national reputation. 
Resident engineer during construction was young 
and smiling Russell Cone who nicks up the Golden 
Gate Bridge as the third of the world's big sus- 
pension bridges on his record. 

Consulting Engineers on the staff were O. H. 
Ammann of New York, who learned his engineering 
in Switzerland, is present chief engineer for Port of 
New York Authority and internationally famous as a 
bridge builder; Leon S, Moisseiff, graduate of Co- 
lumbia University and engineer of design for New 
York; Charles Derleth, dean of the College of 
Engineering at the University of California and 
Andrew C. Lawson, formerly professor of geology 
at the University of California.

UBe ^Bridge of^Ages 



By GEORGE STERLING 



°£ 



Editors Note — The following prophetic poetical essay 
was written by George Sterling, -famed San Francisco 
poet, in 1925, when the Golden Gate Bridge was still 
"a dream." Now, 12 years later, the "dream" is a reality. 



H 



ow little did Portola dream, gazing down from 
the San Matean hills, of the long constellations of 
light that should girdle, nightly, the Bay below! 

How little did our own Argonauts, come hither to 
drain California of its gold and then return to what 
they fondly called "God's country," dream of the 
empire they were to found and of the royal city 
that was to be its standard-bearer! 

Let us not regard ourselves as greatly their supe- 
riors in vision, for we ourselves have but faintly 
conceived, since in the main they are inconceivable, 
the strength and splendor that await our California 
beyond the distant horizon of Time. 

We, too, are only at the beginnings of the glory 
to be. 

But whatever the beauty and opulence that the 
ages have in store for those who follow in our foot- 
steps, one thing at least is to be our changeless 
memorial, the criterion by which our inherited 
vitality and acquired artistry are to be judged in 
the councils of the Future. 

One testimonial is to stand unaltered in its mag- 
nificence, to bear witness to what manner of men 
were those who could dream with their souls and 
shape with their hands earth's most colossal fab- 
rication . 

From the first cave-man who, uneasily, made com- 
radeship with an equally suspicious fellow-man, to 
the last court of nations seeking hopefully the end 
of war and conquest, all the hidden and mysterious 
forces of the world have steadily worked for the 
closer communion of men, for their deeper com- 



prehension one of another, for their ultimate union 
in one vast brotherhood. 

The work begun by the first man to travel beyond 
his borders has been carried on by ship, telegraph, 
telephone and radio, until at last man may speak to 
man from the uttermost spaces of the planet. 

The winds of the world are no more universal, 
"the wings of the morning" no swifter. 

And part and parcel of this tremendous plan for 
mutual understanding and achievement is the 
Titanic edifice by which we purpose to link the most 
dynamic portions of America's imperial State. 

It is no light task to which we are setting our 
hands and minds. Nothing comparable to such a 
creation has been even attempted, thus far, by man. 
Matched with this tremendous span earth's other 
bridges seem the work of pigmies. Matched with 
the good it will accomplish, other bridges seem the 
pathway of ants. 

By our daring and endurance we are to drive a 
channel for the tides of uncounted generations, 
when the ocean of the resources of the North is to 
flow into the ocean of the treasures of , ,ie South, a 
canal not of water but of concrete and steel. 

Let us approach the work with a sense of awe, of 
reverence, remembering that hereby we are to 
bear witness to the faith in man that is within us, 
and to our devotion to that faith. 

Let us realize the almost incredible importance of 
an undertaking that is to knit together not merely 
cities but states, not millions of men but, eventually, 
billions. The future is ours as well as theirs to serve. 

Let us so turn us to the task that our fellows 
unborn, gazing on the sunset as it makes its vast 
rose-window below the arch of our Bridge, may say 
with all truth: "This is the eterna rainbow that they 
conceived and set to form, a promise indeed that 
the race of man shall endure unto the ages."

CALIFORNIA REDWOOD SEQUOIA BIG TREES 




World Famous Dining Room where guests from all of the forty-eight stales and from twenty-five to thirty foreign countries dine every year 

HE CUT of the dining salon does not do it justice. Many world travelers have told us that it was 
the most beautiful and outstanding thing that they had seen during their entire trip around the 
world. Someone described it as a "poet's dream of a place to eat." The mountain brook that runs 
through the dining room is fed by mountain springs, and the song it sings gives you restful and peaceful 
environment. A thousand natural ferns, some higher than you can reach, nestle in the banks close to the 
water. The dining room is enclosed with the Redwood in its natural state. View of Dining Room available 
to Diners only. 

RECREATION AMID SCENES OF NATURES BEST OFFERINGS

^Bridging the Golden Gattj 

THE STORY BEHIND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SPAN 



AN AGE-OLD challenge to the genius of man 
and engineering science has been answered in 
completion of the Golden Gate Bridge. 

From time to time during the past century 
dreamers have suggested the feasibility of a bridge 
across the famous harbor entrance. In 1869 San 
Francisco's own "Emperor Norton" in one of his 
proclamations "commanded" that a bridge be built 
across the Bay of San Francisco, not specifying 
where. 

It was not until 1917 that the proposal gained 
real momentum. The late M. M. O'Shaughnessy, 
then city engineer of San Francisco, invited Joseph 
B. Strauss, builder of hundreds of bridges through- 
out the world, to tackle the problem. 

Together they estimated the cost within a prac- 
tical range and capacity would be $25,000,000 to 
$30,000,000, and concluded that the main span 
necessary would be at least 4000 feet. 

Edward Rainey, then secretary to the late Mayor 
Rolph, became interested, and secured support of 
Supervisor Richard J. Welch, now a San Francisco 
Congressman. 

The following year Strauss made his original 
reconnaissance. 

Welch introduced a resolution in the San Fran- 
cisco Board of Supervisors August 25, 1919, pro- 
viding that the City and County of San Francisco 
undertake preliminary surveys to furnish Strauss 
with information necessary for a more definite study. 

Further studies by Strauss followed, and findings 
were printed in a booklet issued jointly over the 
signatures of Strauss and O'Shaughnessy. 

After lengthy studies, Strauss submitted a pre- 
liminary sketch and estimates in June 1921. The late 
Mayor Rolph showed his enthusiasm by issuing a 
call for a mass meeting at Santa Rosa January 13, 
1923, to consider ways and means of carrying the 
project forward. 

Representatives of 21 counties attended, and the 
Bridging-the Golden-Gate Association was formed. 

A bill was introduced in 1921 in the California 
Legislature, creating an incorporated bridge dis- 
trict to finance, construct and operate the project 
as a public toll bridge. State Assemblyman Frank 
L. Coombs of Napa was the author of the bill, 
which became a law the same year, and was 
amended in 1925 and again in 1931. 

In the spring of 1924 San Francisco and Marin 
Counties made a joint application to the govern- 
ment for a permit to bridge the Golden Gate. 

The Army Engineers held a hearing in San Fran- 
cisco May 16, 1924. 



On December 20, 1924, Secretary of War John 
W. Weeks notified the committee of the War 
Department's approval of the project. Actual in- 
corporation of the Golden Gate Bridge and High- 
way District was delayed by litigation instigated by 
opposing interests until December 1928. 

Boards of Supervisors of the various counties 
whose citizens had voted to become a part of the 
District appointed directors who held their first 
meeting January 23, 1929, and organized. 

Proposals were invited from eleven of the 
Nation's leading bridge engineering firms. After 
an analysis Joseph B. Strauss of Chicago was se- 
lected on August 15, 1929, as chief engineer. 
Leon Moisseiff and O. H. Ammann of New York 
and Prof. Charles Derleth, Jr., of the University of 
California College of Engineering were named as 
consulting engineers. 

The engineering board met in San Francisco 
shortly afterwards and determined upon the basic 
design of the bridge. Subsequently, in accordance 
with provisions of the bridge act, a three cent tax 
was levied on taxpayers and later a two cent tax. 
This was used to cover preliminary engineering, 
legal and other work. 

A field staff was organized by Strauss and speci- 
fications made for diamond drill borings to deter- 
mine conditions for piers and anchorages. Bids for 
mine conditions for piers and anchorages. 

On February 12, 1930, the engineering board 
met and passed on borings and presented them to 
the board of directors with a preliminary report of 
the geologist, Prof. Andrew Lawson of the Univer- 
sity of California. 

On April 15, 1930, application was made to the 
Secretary of War for approval of the approach 
road plans through the two military reservations. 
On May I application for approval of the bridge 
clearances for navigation were filed. 

Shipping interests asked a special hearing on the 
clearances, which was held by the Army Engineers 
June 30, 1930. On August I I the same year the 
War Department issued the final permit fixing the 
clearances. 

In November 1930, the proposal for a $35,000,- 
000 bond issue was submitted to the voters of the 
counties comprising the district, and the issue car- 
ried overwhelmingly. Bidding plans were prepared, 
and first bids received in July 1931. A taxpayers 
suit followed before the work was awarded, and a 
final court decision favoring the district was given 
in July 1932. 

On January 5, 1933, actual construction of the 
Bridge was begun.

The Golden Gate Bridge Is Opened 



(Continued 

with California's glamorous Southland, and of the 
final link the Bridge makes in a smooth, unbroken 
highway between Canada and Mexico. 

Future generations will see with astonishment the 
full effect of the Goden Gate Bridge on the devel- 
opment of San Francisco and California and all 
Western America, and the cementing of amity and 
good will between three nations, the United States, 
Canada and Mexico. 

To its builders and the engineers and especially 
to the man who conceived and designed it, Chief 
Engineer Joseph B. Strauss, is owed a debt that can 
never be repaid. 

Completion of the Golden Gate Bridge de- 
manded a celebration of size and scope commen- 
surate with the Titanic structure. This, months ago, 
San Francisco decided to hold, an unprecedented 
festival of triumph and rejoicing — the Golden Gate 
Bridge Fiesta. 



from Page 9) 

Confronted with San Francisco's long record of 
festivals, world famous festivals of gaiety and joy, 
a Citizens Fiesta Committee, appointed by Mayor 
Angelo Rossi, undertook the task of making this 
celebration of the completion and opening of its 
spectacular Golden Gate Bridge, the most spec- 
tacular ever held in the West. 

Under the general chairmanship of Supervisor 
Arthur M. Brown, Jr., the committee devoted to its 
task the spirit, courage, genius and indomitable 
will that is God's gift to San Francisco and San 
Franciscans. 

Much more than a civic celebration, however, is 
this Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta. It was planned to 
be and is a giant community celebration in which 
the people of the entire Pacific Coast join. 

How well the Citizens Fiesta Committee has 
done its task may be seen and heard by the innum- 
erable eyes and ears of all who will.

REDWOOD EMPIRE 

ALL-YEAR PLAYGROUND 

LINKED BY GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE 

ANOTHER dream comes true: The Golden Gate Bridge for- 
ever links the Northbay Redwood Empire counties with 
San Francisco — Southern Gateway to the Redwood Empire. 

The completion of the $35,000,000 Golden Gate Bridge 
crystallizes a new era of progressive development and expan- 
sion throughout San Francisco and Northbay counties (Red- 
wood Empire). 

For years, daring and adventurous leaders in this region, 
with the clear vision and courageous determination of their 
Western pioneer forefathers, spent freely of their time, effort, 
energy, thought and funds — to crystallize sentiment in favor 
of the Golden Gate Bridge project, which finally resulted in the 
formation of the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District. 

The Officers and Directors of the Bridge District, together 
with the Chief Engineer and staff, have brought this huge 
project to successful conclusion, with the support of the Boards 
of Supervisors, taxpayers and others in the six Bridge District 
counties. 

Leaders, comprising the personnel of the Redwood Empire 
Association (official highway negotiating agency for the nine 
counties) have been a vital factor in obtaining millions in State 
and Federal highway appropriations for the construction of the 
Redwood Empire System of Highways, serving the Golden 
Gate Bridge. 

Difficult engineering feats characterized construction of 
these highways. Streambeds were moved, rock cliffs and 
mountains were blasted, deep canyons and wide rivers were 
bridged, big trees were felled and acres of dense forest 
undergrowth were hewn. 

The Redwood Empire is duly grateful to State and Federal 
officials and engineers for these improvements. 

The ever-increasing volume of tourist and vacationist traffic, 
built up over a period of years by the Redwood Empire Asso- 
ciation's publicity and advertising schedules, "earns" the high- 
ways construction appropriations requested by the counties. 

This already built-up traffic volume will contribute materially 
to the financial success of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is 
dependent upon toll-paying traffic. 

The Golden Gate Bridge forever eliminates the last major 
water barrier in the Redwood Empire System of Highways, an 
important network in the Pacific Coast System of Highways 
between Canada and Mexico. 

The Golden Gate Bridge and connecting highways will 
carry millions of visitors to an extraordinary variety of natural, 
scenic and historic attractions and recreational areas through- 
out the Redwood Empire. 

The Redwood Empire embodies these nine counties: San 
Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt 
and Del Norte (California), and Josephine County (Oregon). 

San Francisco — Southern Gateway to the Redwood Empire — 
is a gay, cosmopolitan community, yet the dominant financial 
metropolis of the West. It is a city of beautiful homes and 
gardens, where all outdoor sports are enjoyed the year around. 

Sightseers enjoy numerous points of scenic and historic inter- 
est, as well as the scintillating night-life of this colorful and

REDWOOD EMPIRE 

ALL-YEAR PLAYGROUND 

SAN Francisco is noted for its many attractive scenes, its 
great stores and colorful bazaars. San Francisco's foreign 
quarters offer intriguing interest. 

A tour of the Redwood Empire is like a trip around the 
world! 

You will be inspired by tall massive redwoods, old when 
Christ was born — the oldest living things on earth. One million 
five hundred thousand acres of enormous evergreen redwoods 
(97% of the world's supply) stand in the Redwood Empire. 
They are the Sequoia Sempervirens — "ever-living". 

Imagine driving over improved hard-surfaced highways, 
through 100 miles of these mighty forest monarchs! These 
graceful big trees reach a height of 364 feet (tallest tree in the 
world), a diameter of 25 feet and an age exceeding 2500 years! 
Miles of picturesque seashore, dotted with recreational 
beaches, border the Redwood Empire — along the shoreline of 
the cool Pacific. 

Fertile valleys, rolling foothills, colorful orchards, vineyards 

and fields, and dominant 
mountains add variety to 
Redwood Empire trips and 
tours. Two national monu- 
ments and hosts of state and 
county parks await you. 

The Redwood Empire is 
an all - year playground — 
comfortaly cool in the sum- 
mer, crystal clear and a riot 
of multi-colored autumn tints 
in the fall; evergreen in the 
winter; a profusion of deli- 
cately colored blossoms, 
greenery and forest verdure 
in the spring — when hillsides 
are covered for miles with 
rhododendrons, oxalis aza- 
eas and other wild flowers. 

The Redwood Empire of- 
fers coolest summer routings 
between San Francisco and 
Oregon, Washington and 
British Columbia — by high- 
way, rail or motor coach. 

All types of hotels, resorts, 
auto courts and camps are 
available, to suit all tastes 
and purses — from the great 
metropoitan hotels of San 
Francisco and the deluxe re- 
sorts of the Northbay — to 
the smallest resort or camp. 
The mineral springs resorts 
of the Redwood Empire rival 
the famous spas of Europe in

A Fiesta, An Island and A Promise 

Buena shoals and charted them; they were noted 
merely as unsafe for navigation. 

At this time the Pacific empire, even in its primi- 
tive state, lay far beyond Don Manuel's ken — al- 
though its elements were there. 

Now a 400-acre island, largest ever built by man, 
has appeared on the Yerba Buena shoals. It came 
there through the spouting discharge pipes of 
gigantic dredges and it will be there forever, as a 
central airport after the World's Fair has ended its 
288 days of gorgeous vitality in 1939. 

A fitting place for a Pageant of the Pacific, a 
Pacific that did not exist when Don Manuel was 
here sixteen decades ago. An alert, alive empire of 
the Pacific, roaring with commerce and luring the 
outlander with siren songs of vacation-land. 

Who can know all about this Golden Gate Inter- 
national Exposition on Treasure Island, v/hen a 
goodly number of its marvels are not quite invented 
just yet? Some things are known — it will be a 
$40,000,000 Fiesta, bathed in mystic light that will 
paint the Island as a scintillating jewel from this 
Bridge across the Golden Gate, yet break the 
jewel into a million facets. 

Facets that will epitomize Western and Pacific 
progress in industry and the Fine Arts; in commerce 
and in recreation; in methods and in results, in 
facts and in fun. 

It will be a World's Fair for specialists, and for 
the superficial who will be adequately delighted by 
the spectacle without troubling to understand the 
specialties. A World's Fair, in a word, for everyone. 

In it the unity of the eleven western states will © 
be bound up within a single spacious exhibit palace, 
a concentration of their industrial, agricultural and 
vacation treasures. Unity of the Pacific trade 
empire will fill the Island to its granite sea-wall. 

Mechanical progress, while fully represented, will 
not be allowed to overshadow the portrayal of this 
new culture of recreation which began in the West 
and is most at home here. 

Concrete, steel and wood are mounting jpward 
on Treasure Island today, toward the World's Fair 
skyline to come. There are twenty months still ahead 
before the Fair opens on February 18, 1939, and 
every day will see further concentration of the 
wonders available in the Western Hemisphere. 
Eleven Western States, British Columbia and all the 
Pacific nations are enlisted. 

So the Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta, a brilliant 
celebration of a brilliant accomplishment, is a 
glamorous prelude and a promise to the greater 
Fiesta in 1939 — the Pageant of the Pacific, which 
will transfer an enlarged emphasis from the Con- 
struction of a bridge into its Destiny and its 
Achievement. 



NOTHING in the Western world is more highly 
significant this week than the final, spectacular 
scaling of a barrier that has, since time began, 
defied the passage of man by land — so that he 
might enter from the sea. 

Here, now, the Golden Gate has become truly 
three-dimensional, welcoming man and speeding 
him along his way — by sea, by air, or by land. 

Realization of this significance pervades even 
the gaiety of our Fiesta, for it is plain that this 
utilitarian spider-web spun across the Golden Gate 
in laborious realization of the Redwood Empire's 
dream is primarily a promise, rather than a com- 
plete fulfillment. The Bridge is here; its benefits 
are to come. 

Similarly this joyous Fiesta is a promise — a shrill 
of trumpets hailing the onrush of 1939 and its 
Golden Gate International Exposition, which will 
entertain an anticipated 20,000,000 visitors on its 
"Treasure Island" in San Francisco Bay. 

This World's Fair will carry on — past the struc- 
tural achievement of the Golden Gate Bridge, 
past the steel glory of its mighty brother that spans 
the Bay from San Francisco to Oakland. 

It will symbolize the meaning of these Bridges to 
the Western and Pacific empire that surrounds 
them. Three great spectacles in one great harbor! 

Even to its foundations the Golden Gate Exposi- 
tion will present a perfectly-assembled picture, 
material as well as symbolic, of vVestern progress. 
Glance for a moment back into the year I 775, when 
Don Manuel de Ayala sailed his tiny "San Carlos" — 
the first vessel ever to pass through the Golden 
Gate — into this safe harbor. He located the Yerba

MARIN APPROACH TO BRIDGE 



CONCRETE 

Concrete used on the Golden 
Gate Bridge project totaled 254,690 
cubic yards. 

This would equal the displacement 
of 10 first-line battleships of 33,000 
tons each. 

It would be sufficient to build two 
10-foot sidewalks on sides of the 
highway from Chicago to Omaha. 



The Bridge is three times the length 
of the Brooklyn Bridge. 



The two approach spans of the 
Bridge are I 125 feet long, each, com- 
pared to side-spans of 610 and 550 
feet on the George Washington 
Bridge, New York, next largest sus- 
pension span.

WESTERN UNION TELEGRAM 
BRIDGES EVERY PROBLEM 

In the gay panorama of modern 
living, the little yellow telegraph 
blank has an important position in the 
procession. 

After almost a century of experi- 
ence in adapting itself to every bus- 
iness and social need, the Western 
Union telegram knows how to keep 
in step. It has become definitely a 
part of the people's daily life. It 
weeps or smiles or laughs or says 
"Thank You" or congratulates, or 
does whatever the public wants it to 
do. And it wears an appropriate 
dress for any special occasion, de- 
signed to fit into the modern picture, 
he it an anniversary, "Commence- 
ment Day", a Bon Voyage greeting 
or what not. 

To the increasing distinctiveness of 
the social telegram, Western Union 
has now added low cost. Twenty-five 
or thirty-five cents anywhere in the 
United States, and only twenty cents 
locally, is today's price for the gay 
little social telegram, which in a flash 
of time spans any distance! — Adv.

Steel Stretches! 



When an engineer makes that statement, his listeners are skeptical. 
But it does, according to the Bridge engineers. 

They will tell you that due to the constanty varying winds and 
temperature at the Bridge site, the Bridge is always moving. 

Take the cables for example. Engineers say if they were detached 
and laid out on the ground they would be 21 feet shorter than their 
hanging length. That measurement is the "stretch" caused by the 
immense load they support. 

These factors were an important element in the designing of the 
Bridge, and the elements enter into them. 

If temperature dropped from the San Francisco normal of 70 
degrees to 30 degrees, the cables will contract. This would "pull" the 
giant towers closer to each shore, and the roadway of the span would 
be automatically raised in the center of the span where the cables 
reach down to support the center. 

The maximum rise under such conditions would be ten feet, it is 
estimated. With a high temperature and a full load of traffic, the 
roadway would drop ten feet at the extreme. Therefore, the 220 foot 
clearance at the center of the span as required by the War Depart- 
ment was raised to 236 feet to fill requirements. 

And while motorists crossing the span won't be able to feel it, 
engineers say wind pressure and other elements are capable of swing- 
ing the Bridge deck at its center sideways as much as 21 feet. 

This "giving" or elasticity gives strength to the whole structure 
and absorbs stresses and strains. 



% 



Gallons of Paint 

Paint , great guardian of science against rust and corrosion of steel, 
has played an important part in the completion of the Bridge, and will 
continue to serve through the ages. 

Approximately I 10,000 gallons of paint, of a color specially de- 
signed in the bay district, and known as "international orange," was 
required to paint the Bridge with the necessary coats. 

Permanent crews of painters will be kept busy constantly on the 
gigantic span, working up and down the sky-high towers and truss work 
— any place where there is steel, to keep the painting program up to 
date and prevent actions developed by the salt air, and other unusual 
weather conditions which prevail at the Bridge site.

Lights 



As the sun watches over our Golden Gate during 
daylight hours, so will the lighting system of the 
great Bridge watch and guard travelers across it at 
night. 

Every possible emergency that might arise has 
been cared for in planning the lighting system, and 
the Bridge, through a dual system, is assured of 
never being in darkness under normal conditions. 

A power sub-station has been installed near the 
South, or San Francisco tower, which will receive a 
line carrying 11,000 volts from the Pacific Gas & 
Electric Company. Transformers will "step-down" 
this voltage to 2300 volts and transmitted to the 
Bridge lighting system. 

Should any emergency arise which would stop 
the flow of the regular power, the "load" will auto- 
maticaly be taken over by an emergency system. 
This plant is operated by a gasoline engine at the 
Bridge site. 

In addition to the vast array of sodium vapor 
lights on the Bridge roadway, current is also needed 
for the aerial beacon light atop the San Francisco 
tower, and the lighthouse at the base of the tower, 
which replaces the historical old Fort Point Light. 



Wind Pressure 



When it comes to wind, the Golden Gate Bridge 
can take it, according to engineers. 

While the highest recorded wind velocity at the 
Golden Gate is 64 miles per hour, the Bridge is 
designed to resist a 90-mile per hour wind, or a 
force of 30 pounds per square foot of exposed 
surface. 

Also, if an unusual wind should develop, the 
Bridge would be promptly "unloaded" of all traffic, 
and resistance increased tremendously. 



Military Construction 

National defense had prominent consideration in 
the building of the Bridge. 

Because its roadways pass through two military 
reservations, it was necessary to obtain permits 
from the War Department. The Golden Gate 
Bridge and Highway District, representing the peo- 
ple, promised to pay for the replacement of military 
facilities moved because of its routing. 

A modern, bomb-proof powder magazine was 
built at a cost of $125,000, a fire control station for 
the Coast Artillery, repair shops, some quarters 
replaced, and a rifle range moved. Also, rerouting 
of a railroad line serving the Presidio was necessary, 
as well as changes in other lines of communication 
involved in the national defense.

Golden Gate Bridge are: 

191 feet taller than the Washington Monu- 
ment. 

313 feet taller than the Russ Building, San 
Francisco's tallest skyscraper. 

179 feet lower than Mount Davidson, San 
Francisco's highest point. 

239 feet lower than the Eiffel Tower in

GOLDEN GATE 



The Golden Sate Bridge gives a bird's-eye view from the tower 
tops of twenty-seven and one-half miles. 

• • 

The roadway of the Bridges is as high above the water as a 23 to 25 
story building, depending on temperature and tides. 

• • 

A string of automobiles reaching from the Mexican border to the 
Oregon line can be accommodated on the six-lane roadway of the 
Bridge, moving at a speed of 23 miles an hour, engineers estimate. 

• • 

Clearances of the Bridge are greater than any other suspension 
span in the world, measuring 4200 feet from center to center of the 
main towers, or 700 feet, 20 per cent, longer than the George Wash- 
ington Bridge across the Hudson River at New York. Vertical clear- 
ances vary from 210 feet at the towers with normal high water to 220 
feet in the center under the same conditions, or 236 feet at low tide 
and temperature. 

• • 

The Bridge is the first one in the world to span the outermost 
entrance to a great harbor. 

• * 

The two 36 inch cables of the Bridge weigh I 1 ,000 tons each, 
and contain 25,572 separate wires each. 

• • 

Concrete paving of the Bridge roadways and sidewalks covers 
723,000 square feet, with an additional 273,000 square feet in the 
Presidio viaduct. 

• • 

New inlets and outlets to an area heretofore comparatively inac- 
cessible, and one of the richest in the world, the Redwood Empire, are 
provided by the Bridge.

BRIDGE FACTS 



Estimated time saving for motorists using the Bridge compared 
to ferry schedules is 53 minutes per round-trip for commuters between 
Marin County points and San Francisco. 

• • 

The Bridge makes motorists independent of fog and other weather 
changes, eliminating traffic tie-ups, and gives them more leisure time. 

• * 

Increased property values alone will pay the entire cost of the 
Bridge in the area it serves, experts declare. 

• • 

One of the most impressive marine promenades and driveways in 
the world across a great body of water is provided by the Bridge. 

• * 

The Bridge will distinguish San Francisco's great harbor entrance to 
a larger degree than the Statue of Liberty does New York harbor. 

• • 

The Bridge will aid navigation into the harbor with a lighthouse and 
fog-signals on the structure. 

• • 

Designated as a direct aid to military operations between the two 
military reservations at either end of the Bridge, it is the only project 
of its kind connecting two such reservations. 

• • 

Thorough research of geologists fully provide for earthguake stresses 
on the Bridge. 

• • 

Scenic splendor unsurpassed is provided by views from the Bridge 
and its approaches through two military reservations.
